In reply to the discussion: Pam Geller lashes out at critics: You’re saying the ‘pretty girl caused her own rape’ [View all]Tommy_Carcetti
(44,604 posts)The fact is, I've yet to hear any confirmation that Geller was actually at the event during the time of the shootings. But everything you say is speculative. There's no indication that Geller was ever in any type of immediate danger, even if she had been there.
As to Geller's motives, consider that she's made her living pushing the "Muslims are here to kill us" argument. Then Charlie Hedbo happens and only then does she come up with this idea to hold this event. Then she just supposedly comes up with Garland, Texas at random where this event should be held, which just so happens to be a place where a) there was a notable American Muslim conference recently and b) where there's a not so insignificant Muslim population living in the area. Then the event happens and the shooting happens and voila--Pam Geller is on the TV talking about "free speech", comparing herself to Rosa Parks and rape victims, and using this incident to prove to the world that, yes, "Muslims are here to kill us."
